“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”
“Edward was perfect for our energetic dog! He was very professional and makes sure that all the dogs that stay with him are up to date on their vaccinations, which made me feel better knowing that Ollie would be around other dogs! I would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.
“First time using rover and Larisa made the process quick and easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Thank you! Luca had an amazing time!”
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”
About: As a seasoned Chihuahua mom and experienced dog fosterer, I have cared for over 30+ Chihuahuas (four being my own) and have been passionate about their well-being since I adopted my first Chihuahua at 19. I have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs, and I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. Is your dog anxious? Do they need their food bowl held while they eat? Do they prefer it heated up with a lil sprinkle of parmesan? I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm around more than I'm not. If you choose to board while I am working, your pet will be safely secure in your chosen method (crate, play yard, bathroom etc). All come with access to food, water and a potty pad as well as any lovies or toys. Vacationers have the option to mingle with the locals or stay in their own gated suite. Meals are based on each pup's personal preferences. Hand fed, heated up, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are just some of the perks that come with staying at Aunt Shelli's AirBnB
About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.

I am currently home most of the time . Retirement /disability. Back issues . So potty breaks are no problem. Morning walks , evening walks most days I treat both of our animals as family members, and would be more than willing to provide that extra care for yours also. Lots of personal time ! That’s what counts

“Jessica & her family are incredibly easy to work with & considerate. It takes a lot of effort and a bit of miracle working to keep such a large pack of dogs happy she makes it look easy. My puppy comes home tired & having gotten some fantastic socialization.”
About: From puppies and kittens. Senior dogs and cats and everything in between I have experience with. Uhm basically whatever their routine is just let me know and I can accommodate. Any special request just ask me and most likely will accommodate. I can give real time updates as needed just let me know. I treat someone's pet as my own. Please let me know your pets preferences. Thank you. Again pet care would fit into my routine via way of getting to know and knowing your pets routine. This will be my main focus. I take into consideration the pets needs and basically focus on that in an environment. Basically I just let them rest or do what it is they like to do daily.

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was young. I have learned how to care for and train dogs of various sizes and ages, from basic commands to specific skills. I have cared for Cats, Hamsters, Rabbits and even Bearded Dragon's, just to name a few. I became a Rover, because I have cared for several friends pets. Doing drop in services while my fur friends Human is at work. Doing drop in service for another fur friend while his Humans went on a family vacation for 2 weeks. I have done pet sitting for a senior fur friend while his Humans enjoyed a lovely cruise for 3 weeks. My fur baby grew up with this senior, so they got along great! I have a group of friends who all have pets, we will go on hikes and take some of the dogs with us. So, if your Fur friend likes adventure, I would be happy to take them along. If you have questions about other services that I do not have tagged, feel free to ask me, I am sure we can work something out. I am available to care for your pets almost any reasonable time of the day. My earliest time is 6am, my latest time is 10pm. A drop in service for any vacations, may consist of up to 6 visits daily, each visit is subject for an extra charge based on travel time and distance. We can work out a flat rate if interested. I feel that pets prefer to stay in their own environment. This way they will not experience anymore anxiety than what they will while you are away. As I stated before, my drop in services for daily visits, can consist of up to 6 visits. This is depended on the time you will be away as well as your fur friends needs. We can discuss more details when we meet. Because of my flexible schedule, I can concentrate on caring for my own senior pup and be available to care for your fur friends also. I will be sure to keep your fur friends safe while we walk or play. If your pet requires medical attention, I will be sure to contact the vet provided and then you.
“My friend and I booked with Jason to hit up the Dunes and do some wine tasting for the day. Jason was so kind and considerate. He’s a great communicator and took the time to get to know our dogs, their routines and took them on several walks while we we’re gone.

“Bennet loves dogs and goes above and beyond for them. She has her own dog named Winted which is a shih tzu - Poodle mix.

Winter is also very disciplined, knows how to pray before meals and knows how to wait for his food or to be let out. Bennet is very kind, approachable and loves to be with dogs, you can easily tell by just looking at her dog Winter. Your dog will be safe and will be in good hands with Bennet.”
